Sorry if I was vague. You don't connect the amps to the same terminals on the speaker. You connect one amp to the "high" terminals and the other to the "low" terminals (I'm assuming we're talking about bi-ampable speakers--if not, then you'd have to disassemble the speaker and crossover assembly which is probably not advisable). A bi-ampable speaker's "high" and "low" sections are electrically isolated from one another (though they typically come with jumpers to connect them for single-amp operation) so the amps' outputs won't be wired together. The inputs to the amps are what you need to wire together. Both amps for a given channel need to receive the same signal. This can be accomplished numberous ways, the simplest of which is to use a y-cable. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28381 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
